. An analogy is a comparison between individual words. What is the relationship between the below analogy? What was your process to identify the comparison? trunk:tree:spine:person

1 answer

The relationship between the analogy "trunk:tree::spine:person" is that the trunk is a part of a tree just like the spine is a part of a person.

To identify this comparison, I first looked at the relationship between the first set of words "trunk" and "tree". In this case, a trunk is a part of a tree, specifically the main vertical stems of a tree from which branches grow. Next, I looked at the second set of words "spine" and "person". In this case, the spine is the central support structure of the human body that runs from the neck down to the tailbone. By recognizing the relationship between the first set of words, I was able to make the connection that the second set of words also have a similar relationship.
